Hi everyone! I've not been on here in a loooong time. A lot has changed! We still have our lovely bunnies of course, but we now have a 9 month old baby boy too.
Our son loves the rabbits, he cries/has a tantrum when I take him away after playing with them, and he even knows what the word "bunnies" means (we have paintings of our rabbits in the dining room and if you ask him "where's your bunnies?" he looks at the paintings hehe )
My question is, how do you get babies to be nice to bunnies? He doesn't seem to understand when I say no, he just thinks it's funny and does whatever he was doing again. So far he's managed to grab an ear and hit Smudge (not hard), the majority of the time I am constantly batting his hand away.
I try to tell him to be gentle, and I say no when he starts getting grabby, but he just doesn't understand as he's only 9 and a half months old!!
I want him to grow up to be nice to the bunnies Does anyone have any tips?
